Saw this on LinkedIn today. Joe McCray of Strategic Security is going to be holding a course on exploit development starting February. It's four courses for $100USD. Might be of some interest to budding exploit developers.

That's a GREAT book, enjoy it!

It is. Which is why I'm running the EMU IASA through it. Read it when it came out. Have 2 hard copies and 1 kindle version. Gave out copies of it to my team at work.

That sucks to hear. I think he's got a great idea, and it's more affordable than the others trying to do it. I'm not expecting OSCP cert greatness, but would like to seem him create a good learning ground, so people can build skills before they go after the big cert programs.

Worst part is, despite I have seen some of this talks and liked the way he presents, and I hope he will continue to do so, the way that strategicsec is run, is startling as what has recently just been mentioned in the news, is like nothing. I'm surprised this "trend" hasn't been caught yet.

This has got to be a MISTAKE!!!!! Given the likes of attrition.org and the infosec community at large, why would any sane individual in the community so BLATANTLY rip off some else's work? And then go on to charge for it? Seriously??

Why would someone go to such great lengths at advertising a course that they STOLE? How could someone be so brazen?

Makes no sense....
